Our vision is to empower the residents of Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) to meet the challenges of healthy living within an urban environment scarred by more than fifty years of environmental pollutants. By working with a consortium of community-based organizations dedicated to developing culturally effective, evidence-based interventions to eliminate and improve the health caused by industrial pollution as well as lifestyle habits. |

Hunters Point Health and Environmental Resource Center (HERC)
incorporates
the Community First objective of “community involvement”
in its program philosophy. HERC will utilize the African American
Health Initiative’s innovative, Afro-centered approaches to motivate
men to take a more active role in improving their health, the health
of their families and neighborhoods. This will occur through opening
community dialogue, taking a stand on issues, and pooling strengths,
resources, and energy in order to reach men who may be hesitant
to focus on their own health.
